After you said that about esoteric last night, I went over there and browsed a bit. Came across that thread about pbr and other bad beers. Triggered a 60 year old memory. I remember when I was about 7 and my brother was about 12, my dad got a new company car. It was a pretty maroon 51 Ford. My mom and dad, brother and myself took the car for a ride in the country. While we were passing a pasture full of cows, one of them let fly with a cascade of cow piss which my brother and I pointed out to my dad and he glanced over at the cow and said in a very dry manner, "oh she's just taking a Falstaff." which my brother and I thought was hysterically funny. For about 5 years after that, whenever we had to go we referred to it as taking a Falstaff. Kinda sums up what my dad thought of Falstaff beer. Guess, I'm not totally senile yet, if I can remember something from 60 years ago. Now, if could only remember what I did with my car keys and did I take my medicine this morning?:D Internet says that Falstaff is what Hank Williams was drinking the night that he died. Must have been some really bad beer, but wonder what he was mixing with it?
